I have installed fresh iRedMail to VPS
I did install pure-ftp

Directory '/var/www' have root:root owner/group. I can't use root with FTP.
How do I can copy/move files from '/var/www' to(from) my home PC?

Do I can change owner:group of whole /var/www directory to other user than root?

I want to modify roundcube: create own skin, add custom scripts etc.

Thank you.

If you just want to copy (upload or download files), it's better to use SCP instead. It's part of ssh service.
Search "scp" with Google and you will know how to use it.

P.S. If you run Windows on your home PC, you can use WinSCP to upload/download files.

Oh ... I absolutely forgot about SCP!
